Commission Directive 2011/63/EU
of 1 June 2011
amending, for the purpose of its adaptation to technical progress, Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC(1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 98/70/EC sets environmental specifications as well as analytical methods for petrol and diesel fuels placed on the market.
(2) Those analytical methods refer to certain standards established by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Since CEN has replaced those standards by new ones due to technical progress, it is appropriate to update the references to those standards in Annexes I and II to Directive 98/70/EC.
(3) Annex III to Directive 98/70/EC specifies the permitted vapour pressure waiver for petrol containing bioethanol. The figures contained in that Annex are rounded to the second decimal place. Standard EN ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 4259:2006 defines the rules for rounding results according to the precision of the test method and requires rounding to the first decimal place. It is therefore appropriate to amend the figures set out in Annex III to Directive 98/70/EC accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Fuel Quality, established by Article 11(1) of Directive 98/70/EC,
